<p>OK so there are only 2 more days until the May SAT and coming up with essay examples has always been a problem for me. So I was just wondering if we can make a list of some staple examples that will usually work for most essay prompts... I'll start it off with a few that I always use.</p>
<p>A Seperate Peace by John Knowles
Hitler during WW2
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
MLK Jr.
Macbeth
One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey</p>
<p>bumppp please someone help get this list going!!</p>
<p>Use the search tool, dawg.</p>

<p>Tip for those taking the SAT tomorrow: the examples do NOT have to be from classic novels and what have you. They can be ANYTHING. You can make it up. The point of the essay is to test one’s reasoning ability (and on an arguably lesser scale, your writing ability). Memorizing specific examples and plot details and simply citing them will not get you anymore than an 8.</p>
